I’m so sick and tired of subscriptions.

[@EOE808]

Same. I cant imagine commiting entire projects to plugins i couldn't access later if i didn't pay a subscription. Madness

[@morganst.pierre]

@@EOE808it’s a good encouragement to start bouncing things to audio helps you get things done wayy faster. as long as they don’t have a # of month minimum it has some great use cases

[@relevancy1123]

just get your money up. there is quite literally no entrepreneurial path in the entire world where there is absolutely NO BUY-IN FEE. Stock and forex traders are paying for mentors and books on market adjustments, construction workers are paying for the schooling they need to work in the union, artists are paying for their paint and pencils, web developers are paying for their domain, content creators are paying for data analytics, editing and copywriting... Literally everyone is paying. Rather than complain, find a way to afford it. Or find a way to pirate it, which is equally doable (I got the method rn) or just accept that maybe this career isn't for you and go to college. 😂

Perfect. Any KZbinr that includes the subscription prices for the companies he's reviewing, then I take it for granted he's being paid. Cannot pay attention to shills. Free plugins is where the bullshit normally stops, although, probably still involves kickbacks of some sort.

[@TimmyTheSnail]

I’d argue Vital should be in the essentials category. The name is a big clue, it literally is vital to your arsenal. Not to mention it’s super beginner friendly but can become so complex at the same time

[@cipa857]

Literally free serum, you can shape any sound with it

[@Nynsai_altfun_2]

everybody know it already

[@thetylersherman]

My main complaint with Vital (literally just discovered today) is that I work on both Windows and Mac. The Windows version of Vital is a VST and the Mac version is AU, rather than VST3 which is cross compatible. So any time I open a project across different platforms my projects are bricked. This alone means I won't use it again until it's cross-compatible. That being said, it's a great free synth!

[@RAISING_WOLVES]

💯

[@tasenova2717]

Controversial, if you're just starting don't do any of this. You get more out of treating the daw time like any college, and learn the basics. also, presetshare is good for vital.

[@PolymerJones]

Presetshare .. is that a website?

[@MADEBYHEIGHTS2]

I get this take but having better sounds to choose from completely changes your production almost instantly. I remember going from the stock plugins to omni back in the day and immediately noticing a huge change

[@scottlarock7924]

Good stuff. Nice video. I want to give Soundpaint a shout out. Comes with a nice piano and a bunch of other free off-center instruments. That has user import, so you can make your own instruments to use in the player. You have a bunch of different slots to stack instruments together, or morph one into another. Full effects rack, ADSR, all that stuff. I've bought a handful of instruments for it, as well. Good quality sounds. The reason I recommend it, is I really can get a lot of work done inside the player to tailor my sound. It has helped me to stay a little more focused and not be bouncing around thinking about different plugins for effects.

[@gainesdominique]

Can't wait to get Sound Paint.

[@PIZZ-HOG]

love vital. you can find lots of free high quality preset packs that are miles better than the stock ones it comes with. also didn't know about deja vu, will be using that from now on.

[@Welshmanshots]

Just installed some of these and man they make the stock plugins in FL sound so much better, especially Dejavu!

[@Burglecutter]

I immediately agree with you on having Arturia on the top. I also agree with the Mellotron pick. You can load one shots in there, too. You can edit the channels on the Mellotron plugin and drag one shots right in. On the low, though, I REALLY like UVI. Their synth VSTs are probably the best in my opinion. Their analog emulations are top, top notch. The effects in that Arturia package are excellent. Don't sleep on them. The best effect plugin company has to be Plugin Alliance. There's a good reason Native Instruments made a deal with them.

[@FXWLL]

Awesome video and some great recommendations. Vital is an inase VST. I can make a tonne of unique sounds and it goes super deep with LFOs, Filters. Its a sound deaigners dream. Serum is maybe has a few more features but Vital is free

[@KeyAnoBeats]

I have yet to fully deepdive into vital cause with sound design I’m so lost and lazy. But in comparisons to serum the layout is beautiful

[@rexpectemusic]

Highly appreciate all the plugins you explained, but you could have added Serum by Xfer Records, 'cuz its one of the most versatile plugins. (Yeah, you included Vital, a good alternative of Serum)

You know that a VST list video is useless, when the VSTs are advertised by dropping big names who supposedly use it. Or when single Analog Lab or Kontakt Player devices are included (specifically if those are demos). The third Red Flag is Presets. If you want to spend money on presets, put the name of your favorite Synth you already own and 'presets' into google and go wild, but never pay for a VST because it has nice presets.

I mean, other keyboard plug-ins just sound so average compared to Keyscape. If there is something that sounds more realistic, please tell me. I have a feeling people will say things like East West, Spitfire, Albion... idk things like that, which to my understanding do have great sounding pianos, but I haven't heard anything super unique along those lines (though I don't own them). Keyscape has 500 emulations, and the vast vast majority of them are unique, inspiring sounds. It's been out almost 8 years. Is it really still undefeated?
